Li Xiang knew the intelligence department must have found evidence against him and intercepted the information he had passed on. Otherwise, they would not have arrested him during the war. As such, he did not bother to explain himself.
Zhang Jinglin did not say anything else either. "Take him away. From now on, Zhou Yinglong will be the commander of the 103rd Infantry Brigade."
Zhou Yinglong was being promoted at a rapid pace during the war. On one hand, it was because of the Razor Sharp Company, where the Forward Strike Battalion had repeatedly made great contributions. On the other hand, it was because this battle had been so tragic that Fortress 178 was almost out of manpower.
Zhang Jinglin frowned as he watched Li Xiang's back as he was taken away. At this moment, he was only worried that the information Li Xiang had passed on would cause Ren Xiaosu a lot of trouble.
Next to him, Wang Fengyuan lowered his head and said, "Commander, it's my fault for not being able to keep an eye on him. If I had done that earlier, Ren Xiaosu wouldn't have had to …"
"It's not your fault." Zhang Jinglin shook his head. "There's a lot of work to do in the intelligence department. It's already very good that we managed to find him. Back when we were purging the Soong Clan, Li Xiang clearly stood on our side. This inevitably confused you, and even I found it hard to believe."
"But as for Ren Xiaosu, he went deep into Stronghold 146 by himself …."
Zhang Jinglin suddenly said, "Don't worry, he's not someone who would act rashly if he's not confident. We just need to wait for a miracle."
…
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was still trying to figure out the geographical location of Stronghold 146 as soon as possible. Only then could he capture all of the Soong Clan's higher-ups in one fell swoop.
But on this day, when he was walking on the road again, he suddenly discovered the garrison troops of Stronghold 146 had split up to put up wanted posters on the streets. Several of them were pasted on all the electric poles in the stronghold, and the wanted poster was the same person: Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu took advantage of the fact that no one was watching to look at the posters on a remote electric pole. He was surprised to see a portrait of himself on it.
The portrait was drawn by hand, so there was bound to be some deviation. However, the other party's skill was very high. Although there were some deviations, as long as someone saw the wanted poster and saw himself, they would definitely feel that it was very familiar.
According to the description on the wanted poster, Ren Xiaosu should be in the vicinity of the stronghold at this moment. He might even have snuck into the stronghold by himself. If any residents discovered his whereabouts and reported it to the combat brigade stationed at Stronghold 146, they would receive a reward of 200,000 yuan.
Ren Xiaosu curled his lips. He was only worth 200,000 yuan …
But while he was feeling indignant, his mind was racing. 'There must be a traitor in Fortress 178's troops, and that's why the Soong Clan knows about my whereabouts.'
However, Ren Xiaosu did not know if Fortress 178's troops had discovered the existence of this mole. If this mole was allowed to continue leaking information to the outside world, it would probably be very dangerous.
Suddenly, a platoon walked towards Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu immediately lowered his head in an attempt to deceive them. But just as the platoon walked past him, the platoon commander at the front felt something was amiss. He turned around and looked at Ren Xiaosu. "Raise your head!"
In an instant, Ren Xiaosu sprinted in the opposite direction. With a light leap, he jumped into a small courtyard through the wall.
By the time the platoon raised their guns and was about to shoot, Ren Xiaosu had already disappeared from sight.
The platoon immediately blew their whistle and shouted on the radio, "Suspicious personnel discovered! Suspicious personnel discovered! Requesting reinforcements!"
The search team at Stronghold 146 was like a large net. When they received the information from the mole in Fortress 178, they had already cast it out.
It was not that Ren Xiaosu could not defeat a normal platoon. It was just that if he could not kill them all in an instant, they would have a chance to alert the search team at Stronghold 146 sooner or later.
If Ren Xiaosu were to be held back, he would probably be finished.
At this moment, the benefits of acting alone became apparent. If he were leading the Razor Sharp Company, he would probably still have to worry about their safety. But now that he was alone, he could move at high speed to shake off the pursuers behind him. He could even give it his all.
When Ren Xiaosu jumped into the courtyard, he was surprised to see a woman collecting the laundry that had been hung out to dry. Ren Xiaosu did not stop at all and jumped straight into another courtyard.
Screams rang out one after another. The stronghold residents' screams seemed to be helping the search team at Stronghold 146 locate him.
When he finally jumped into an alley, he happened to run into two Soong Clan soldiers who were trying to surround him.
When the two soldiers saw Ren Xiaosu, they raised their guns and were about to shoot at him. However, the moment Ren Xiaosu landed in front of them, he grabbed the barrels of their guns. Immediately after, a shadow flashed behind him. When the shadow disappeared, the two soldiers' necks were bleeding.
The two of them were a little shocked. They did not even see what the shadow that flashed behind Ren Xiaosu was.
A massive manhunt unfolded in Stronghold 146. As time passed, the large net slowly closed in on Ren Xiaosu.
When the pedestrians on the streets saw the Soong Clan soldiers giving chase, they quickly hid in the buildings on the side of the street. They were afraid they would be implicated in the manhunt.
The Soong Clan soldiers had all connected to the radio channels, and they could hear shouts coming from them. "The target has crossed Fuxing Road. I repeat, the target has crossed Fuxing Road and is moving quickly from west to east on Zhang Heng Road!"
"The target has killed another of our soldiers. He has jumped into a house from Zhang Heng Road and is moving east!"
Thousands of Soong Clan soldiers were scattered all over the streets of the stronghold. The residents on the streets were secretly eavesdropping on the soldiers' shouts through their windows. They were surprised to find so many elite Soong Clan soldiers were only chasing after a single person. At first, many of them thought that a unit from Fortress 178 had infiltrated the stronghold and caused such a huge commotion.
Meanwhile, the Soong Clan soldiers realized the target they were chasing was not human at all. Not only was he moving extremely fast, but any scattered combatants that came into contact with him were all killed in an instant.
Some of them did not even have time to report their target's whereabouts before they stopped abruptly.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was already using his gun because he realized the enemy's encirclement was gradually closing in. Even if he did not use his gun, he would not be able to hide his whereabouts.
He could only try his best to break out of this encirclement and carve out a way out for himself!
Ren Xiaosu's firearms proficiency had been upgraded to master, so how could a normal soldier compare to him? Even if he suddenly encountered a Soong Clan platoon on the streets, Ren Xiaosu could still immediately fire his gun to suppress them.
The soldiers in front of him who were trying to form a defensive line hid behind a wall. But before they could react, a grenade suddenly appeared at their feet and blew up the defensive line that had just been set up.
Ren Xiaosu was already in a killing frenzy. There was no turning back!
Either you die or I live. This was a principle of the world that Ren Xiaosu had long understood!
